Foster has several achievements under his belt, piloting high-growth stage organizations, founding disruptors, and guiding established teams to new heights.

True Talent Advisory is a global platform that brings together a range of products and services around Human Capital Management. Those at the helm would need to wear several hats – switching dynamically between products and teams.

Foster comes to True Talent Advisory fresh out of his very own Gamut Labs, which provided HR consultancy services to startups, specifically in the talent and culture segments. Before that, he was CHRO at Hulu where he helped take their annual revenues from USD 100 million to USD 1 billion in less than 5 years – a feat that would be impossible without a passionate and motivated team.

Foster also worked at IDEO, where he served 500+ people across 9 global locations as CHRO.

Within the HR field, Foster is especially focused on learning and development (L&D). His experience as Mercury Interactive’s Chief Learning Officer, Head of Worldwide Organization Development at Levi Strauss, and VP of L&D at Citibank, is a testament to his capabilities in the space.

"I couldn't be more excited to join True Talent Advisory and serve this amazing team. The opportunity to support our continued growth as a full-service talent platform makes me feel like I've increased my professional impact exponentially," Foster commented.

At True Talent Advisory, he will be responsible for outlining talent strategies that would drive professional growth for employees. These would inspire innovations around current talent management models, bleeding into the company’s product offerings and client-facing services.

Brad Stadler, co-CEO of True Talent Advisory believes internal ethos must mirror their external stance: "We're doing what we advise our clients to do, investing in what is most important in your organization–the people. We're excited about what John's strategic vision, broad experience and passion will bring as we continue to grow."

Foster has a dual BA degree from Miami University, in Psychology and Communications – he also has an MEd in Experiential Learning from Colorado State University.
